Phat Fiber Samples!

I've decided to join in the fun and send samples in to the Phat Fiber Box. For those of you out side of the fiber world, the Phat Fiber box is a fiber festival sent through the mail to customers.

Independent fiber artists send samples in, and then 200 boxes are made from the samples. Every box is different because each artist only sends in about 20-100 samples (depending on how ambitous they are!). At a secret time every month (but you can get a heads up through the website), the boxes go on sale through the Phat Fiber etsy store. They are sold out in a matter of seconds!

But througout the month, there's lots of fun in the Ravelry group and many prizes through the Phat Fiber blog (a lot of artists send in full-size products to be given away on the blog).

So now I'm going to be a part of it all, and I'm so excited!! I sent my samples off last week, but I want to show them off here! The theme for November is "Seasons of Light."

They're hand-pulled roving wrapped around battery-operated tea lights! I just love them ;)

Here's a few more pics

A full-sized batt to show off the fibers.

The fibers included are Merino, BFL, Silk, Corriedale, Romney and Firestar. Super soft!!
